Map the Unmap, Start with Why & What, Begin with End, Prepare The Checklist and Then Connect The Dots. This is how I find the answers and solutions.

Good Morning Mr. Vivek Srivastava,

Thanks a lot for accepting my professional request to get connected with you on LinkedIn. We are connected.

Now look at the image below

This is what I preach (follow + endorse + live too) professionally and this is what I learned from My Guru, My Teacher, My Mentor and My Godfather, Dr. M. N. Cooper. I spoke to your father when I met him first time. Image Below.

I worked with Dr. Cooper in 3 different periods from FY 1987–88 till FY 2010–11.

In his business, he attended his business duty for 32 years dot at 08:21 AM in the morning and he left the duty dot on 05:55 PM for 32 years.

In 32 years, he earned more than 18 lakhs global customers.

All of them bought his business developed IP (software product).

He offered his professional services as a hard core + pakka + passionate + disciplined professional to Microsoft Inc. and to Apple Inc.

I am yet to see, read and hear the business record which he created in India and being in India.

According to me (my perception + my point of view = Based on my experience) he is the finest useful & meaningful CMD I ever met.

I’m walking the same golden path which My Guru walked and still walking.

Being useful and being meaningful 24/7 to myself (first) and to people around gives me immense satisfaction and peace of mind.

Sending this welcome note via Medium route (than writing an article via LinkedIn) since there are many bugs within the UI of LinkedIn article. These bugs or errors or mistakes does not allow me to write professionally within no time.

As true and pakka professional, I gave them time to time feedback about it. However, I assume (flying my thinking kite in air) LinkedIn development team and testers needs some (how much? I don’t know.) time to fix various bugs.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Myself included first.

In turn I want to invest this gifted life & birth in welcoming you on LinkedIn without wasting a single second to change LinkedIn, LinkedIn development team & LinkedIn testers.

I’m not immortal and I’m pretty confident about it. However, I assume or think or imagine LinkedIn firm, LinkedIn development team and above all LinkedIn tester team think + assume + feel they are immortal and that is why they released new UI (user interface) changes for LinkedIn global users without testing it from various user perspectives, angles, behavior, culture and so on.

However, Google Plus gave the notice for a month before changing the UI. Now-a-days Google is also giving advance notice for the change in Email UI.

However, changes in UI (in & on Google Plus) specially use of red color created chaos for global users.

On various platforms global users raised the concerned about it. I also raised my own concern.

Having informed above, Pinterest, they are also using different red color! Somehow no users are complaining about it.

And that’s the point I’m making (and I always make) when UI and UX job is done.

In my professional capacity, I follow connecting dots + design thinking approach and method very strictly since it has given tremendous + beyond imagination + beyond expectations results to customers to whom I served in Past.

Create prototype (of everything and anything. And that too using paper and color pencils or color pens). Allow users to feel it. Collect feedback and then finalize and then code it and/or make it.

I’m studying Design Thinking since FY 2005 and following connecting dots since FY 2005. Both are amazing tools & incredible + inspiring thinking approach to solve any man made problem. I have used them in my personal life and colony life (where I live as of today).

And easy to publish an article in no time and that’s the need of global writers.

I am one of them and I’m very small user across the globe.

Fact of the life is as soon thoughts arrives! Tool must be ready to serve the reader and writer.

And that need Medium satisfy with efficient + neat + clean UI as of this month and i.e. May, 2017 and the way I wrote this entire post in few seconds at 07:36 HRS (morning) as per Indian Standard Time.

LinkedIn platform and Google Plus web platform are yet to achieve the speed which Medium achieved for writer and for reader.

You know well.

We all got only 24 hours daily to do something incredible, inspirational, enchanting, wonderful, peaceful & kind work that is useful & meaningful to us and to people around. I’m making an attempt today.

Last minute thought : I am sending this welcome note via Medium (for another solid & professional reason) so that professionals across the globe can view (share too) this welcome post written by me for you outside LinkedIn environment and that’s the pleasure I wish to give to every user in LinkedIn and outside LinkedIn.
